Summary
Some 2018 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.0L diesel engines which have experienced fuel system contamination may have damaged fuel system components including the high pressure fuel pump and injectors. Fuel and additives which do not meet the minimum lubrication, cooling, and anti-corrosion properties required by the high pressure fuel system components may cause symptoms including, but not limited to crank no start, long crank hard start, runs rough, low power, engine knocking, exhaust smoke, and or fuel rail pressure slow to build. The Workshop Manual (WSM) Section 310-00E has been updated to include service procedures to address fuel system contamination.

- EVERYDAY TREATMENT: Keep your diesel engine in top condition with our EDT that is designed to improve performance & maintain engine health. With regular use, you can ensure your engine runs smoothly & efficiently giving you peace of mind on the road.
- BOOST FUEL ECONOMY: Enhance your vehicle performance with our diesel additive that boosts cetane levels by up to 7 points resulting in better fuel economy & reduced maintenance costs. Say goodbye to poor acceleration & frequent trips to the mechanic.
- FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER: Cleans both internal & external injector deposits, enhances the lubricity of fuel to safeguard the fuel system components, such as the pump & injectors to increase engine longevity while also acting as a fuel system cleaner.
- PREVENTS RUST & CORROSION: While demulsifying moisture & adding stability to fuel by preventing oxidation & degradation, it also provides a reliable solution for protecting fuel systems from the damaging effects of rust & corrosion.
- EASY TO USE: Use at every fill-up, 1 oz. or 2oz. (for more cetane and lubricity boost) for every 25 gallons of diesel, this product is easy to use! Just pour it into your diesel fuel tank during your next fill up.

- EASY USE AT EVERY FILL-UP: Add directly to the fuel tank at each fill-up. The long neck and measuring chamber make treating fuel simple. One 40 oz bottle treats up to 400 gallons
- FOR ALL DIESEL ENGINES: Suitable for use in all diesel vehicles and equipment - light-duty, heavy-duty, pickup, SUV, van, RV, etc. (including modern HPCR systems)
- IMPROVES LUBRICITY (ASTM D6079): Tested to improve lubricity by 43% to help protect fuel system components, including wear-sensitive parts like the CP4 pump
- BOOSTS CETANE UP TO +8: Raises cetane up to 8 points for faster ignition, smoother combustion, and improved drivability; many engines run best around 48–50 while pump diesel is often 40–45
- CLEANS INJECTORS: AR6500's detergent package removes injector deposits and restores spray patterns for improved atomization, supporting better performance and fuel economy
- Cleans dirty injectors and prevents injector sticking in both High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) and older systems
- Removes both internal and external deposits on fuel injectors
- Restores lost power and fuel economy
- Contains Slickdiesel Lubricator to protect fuel pumps and injectors from increased wear caused by poor quality Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel
- Effective in all diesel fuels, including ULSD, biodiesel and biodiesel blends
- TWO-STEP FUEL SYSTEM RESET: Includes AR6400-D Diesel Fuel System Cleaner + AR6500 Diesel Treatment (40 oz) for a complete clean-and-maintain solution
- HOW IT WORKS: Use AR6400-D first for a deep clean (12 oz treats 30-40 gallons), then use AR6500 at every fill-up for ongoing protection (40 oz treats up to 400 gallons)
- FOR ALL DIESEL ENGINES: Suitable for all diesel vehicles and equipment, including modern HPCR systems
- CLEANS INJECTORS & RESTORES RESPONSE: Removes injector deposits and restores spray patterns for smoother running, improved response, and more efficient combustion
- IMPROVES LUBRICITY (ASTM D6079): AR6500 is tested to improve lubricity by 43% to protect fuel system components, including wear-sensitive parts like the CP4 pump
